I will be working with this camera mostly due to it's excellent image quality and my own personal preference to the camera. I will be using a second camera (see below) in order to capture shots I couldn't get with the Canon.

I will also be working with the canon 650D and the canon 700D.

The GoPro Hero 3+.
I will be using the GoPro Hero 4 as my second camera on shoot for shots that would either damage the camera or compact spaces that would be tricky to shoot otherwise.

- The Black Edition has video modes of 1440p48, 1080p60, 960p100 and 720p120 as well as 4Kp15 and 2.7Kp30 and can shoot 12MP stills at up to 30 frames per second
